Ice Fishing
About this game
Ice Fishing is a top view puzzle of reading fish under a frozen lake. Shadows of sixteen northern species patrol the ice in straight lines, lazy loops or startled sprints, and rarer fish drift fainter and slower. Study a route, tap a cell ahead of the shadow to drill one of five holes and drop the line, because drilling startles every shadow within two cells for three seconds. When a shadow swims into the catch ring it bites and three timed taps inside the gold zone land the catch. Sonar reveals a 3x3 area twice per round and ninety seconds of chained catches build the combo bonus.
How to play
Tap ahead of a shadow to drill, tap a hole to drop the line and tap three times in the gold zone when it bites.
Tips & Tricks
- Rare shadows are faint and slow, so drill well ahead of their route and let them drift into the ring.
- Drilling startles every shadow within two cells for three seconds, so never drill on top of the fish you want.
- Save one sonar charge for the last minute to check which holes still hold fish near them.
- Chained catches raise the combo multiplier up to two and a half times the fish value.
Frequently asked questions
How do I catch a fish in Ice Fishing?
Drill a hole on the route of a shadow, drop the line and wait. When the shadow enters the catch ring it bites and you must tap three times while the marker is inside the gold zone to land it.
Why do the shadows suddenly speed up?
Drilling is noisy. Every shadow within two cells of the new hole panics for three seconds and swims away much faster, so plan holes ahead of the route instead of on top of the fish.
